update on my lungy.

[bluekrissyspikes]

hey. i haven't been on here for a looonnnggg time!! sooo i thought i would come on and post an update on how my lung is doing. he is getting real big, about 27 inches but not exactly because it's hard to measure him. anyways, here's a couple pix. the first one is him in his temperary holding tank. it's just a fifty gallon and hopefully he'll never have to be in there again. the other couple pics are of him in his new one-fifty. :) it's a stock tank. it cost me about a hundred and fifty bux which is an awesome deal if you ask me! i have it filtered with powerheads that are attatched to the biggest sponge filters i could find at my lps. i am going to be making him a better filter asap but for now it is working really well as it is. the filters just not in the pic cause i had just put him in there. he is soo happy now that he has all that space. the tank is 2x2x6. i sealed around the drain hole with aquarium silicon to prevent any leakage. i'm going to eventually build up around it with some fake rocks or something to make it look like a pond. but for now he is happy and healthy so i'm happy too!

nice lung wat u feeding that guy

he eats feeders(sometimes, i 'grow' my own), shrimp, fish, hot dogs, algea wafers....pretty much anything that goes in his tank, he'll eat, unless of course it's pellet food

Hes awesome! And dwarf that tank.

yeah, the tank looks pretty dwarfed with him in it. it looks a lot bigger now that it has my angelfish in it.:)

[frogman5]
